The legendary career of AS Roma’s captain and icon, Francesco Totti is looking like it’s coming to a close after 25 years filled with big goals, historic triumphs, and a wealth of trophies and awards.
To honor Il Gladiatore, Nike has unveiled the limited edition Tiempo Totti X Roma boots, which will have a release of 2,500 individually numbered pairs — 100 for each of his 25 professional seasons, ALL spent at the same club.
Speaking in press release, player also known as Il Capitano said: “When I thought about a boot that could reflect the 25 years of my career, I immediately thought of gold. This boot had to encapsulate all my values — my family, AS Roma and the city of Rome. Nike understood straightaway how to create these boots.”

The aglets feature “Totti” in gold and red detailing, whilst the sole is a black chromed plate.
The boot’s insole reflects the colours of AS Roma and ‘TottiXRoma’ appears in gold above the specially created crest.
The Tiempo Totti x Roma boots launch April 26 and will be available from nike.com, the Pop-Up Totti X Roma store in Piazza San Lorenzo, Lucina and selected retailers.
